trust me. a sterilizer is super useful in time to come when they are on milk bottles. saves a lot of time and don't have to watch fire.

Bought liao but u know how old mummies like to impose their thinkings on us esp when this is my first bb. I m already feeling the stress.

Last wk told my in laws tt I won't wan my bb to sleep in sarong cos I m scare tt he will be too reliant on it such tt he cannot sleep outside if there is no sarong avaliable. They keep insisting tt sarong is good n will help the bb to sleep better n they went ahead to buy the sarong without even telling us.

The lady at my prenatal class in alvernia says once it is out from the heat from the sterilizer, the bacteria or germs can start to groe. Best to keep the bottles in the electric sterilier with the lids on n take out only wat u need.

But I m not sure how feasible is those if we r using the old traditional method of boiling the bottles in water. But then, my mum says I grew up using bottles sterilized in this manner. She says why go thru all the hassle n $$ wasted in buyjng all these unncessary stuffs :(

You have to remember that ultimately you are baby's mom and who can make decisions. But you must also bear in mind who is ultimately the main caregiver and have to learn to close an eye on how they manage your child.

Lucky my mum isn't so old fashioned! In fact she was the one who bought me my sterilizer and told me the convenience of it.

Is your ILs going to be your baby's caretaker when you've returned to work next time? I think they need to respect the parents decision leh

I rmb someone asked tt qn during class. If I rmb correctly her ans was best soak it in dunno wat chemical pills with water b 4 u used it when u r outside where there is hot water avaliable.

I think they will usu give the ideal ans la. But I doubt we can follow thru. I asked my colleagues they ask me to put the sterilised parts in air tight tupperware n bring to office to pump.
 
I am a sahm so ultimately I will be taking care of my own kids. You will have to be prepared come confinement there will be potential conflicts. Key is don't sweat the small stuff and let them say what they wanna say sometimes. During confinement we are very prone to depression and if we try to control things too much, we might end up getting that. Tell yourself it's a phase and it will pass. Old folks won't always be nagging.

And once they see that there are results in what you do, they will leave you alone, my inlaws used to think I cannot manage my own kid on my own. When they saw how well she was growing physically and emotionally, they stopped their nagging. Even better was that I was raising #1 in shanghai all on my own.

So they don't interfere. Always remember while you are the parent, they are grandparents too you cannot deny them their opinions on their own grandchildren.

Ya they r the main caregivers. Dats y I kept quiet n learning to "close" both eyes like wat little lamb says. I jus kept quiet when they told me abt the sarong thing.

I will let my bb try first lo. If he really becomes too reliant on the sarong to sleep I think I will make noise.

Guess it shows the massage is effective in expelling the blood?

Mine has stopped for 2 days now but it did stop earlier only to bleed fresh red blood again earlier so hope this time is really stop.

I don't think backache is coz epi. So far I never got backache after 3 epi. It could be because the pregnant belly weight your back had to support ?

I also not sure.... this time seem to lose weight faster than 1st time... Maybe cos I feel more energetic during confinement this time. Also have been a good girl to keep the massage wrap on for at least 6 hours. Last time I could only keep it on for 1 - 2 hours!

I not a fan from sarong. Firstly, it is a harzard. Secondly, i had experienced that my friend brought along the sarong to chalet because her son couldnt sleep without it. So i die die dun let my children use sarong.
